August 2009  AAPN Recap for the week of August 24
Greetings!
  
AAPN members have two important networking events coming up. MAGIC is next week in Las Vegas and coming up shortly after is the launch of Material World in Los Angeles (September 30 - October 2). Next week we will begin highlighting those members that will be exhibiting at Material World/Technology Solutions.
 
We all need time to meet face to face at shows like MAGIC and Material World but what happens after the shows? You've heard us preach that networking happens everyday at AAPN so I hope you'll take the time to look at your company profile on the AAPN website. Each member has the opportunity to post photos, management bios and pictures, blogs, press releases and more free of charge with your membership. In addition to the free stuff, you can stand out from the crowd by advertising. Take a look at the Main Directory Page. Linked logos for Lectra and Norman Shatz Company USA are rotating on this page and the Category and Country Search Pages. Their logos and the logos of AAPN Partners also show up as Priority Listings. For example, Rocedes Apparel is at the top the of the list of Casual Pant factories. You can be at the top of the list also ...

 AAPN: FOR WHEN YOUR BACK IS AGAINST THE WALL 
Written by Mike Todaro for Fashion Mannuscript: 

Since the non-profit AAPNetwork began in 1981, we've been matching producers (yarn, fabric, trim, services, manufacturing) to apparel professionals (retailers, brands, designers, merchants). In doing so, we've simplified the supply chain.....
